Shoes?

[rockchalk jhawk]

Splute - Nike Shox ID, patent leather. Look great, comfortable, but they make my feet very warm... maybe the patent not letting air in?? Otherwise I like them.

i've looked at (i thought) every option in the nike id program, but have never been able to get a pair 'all black' that i like. what model shoe did you order?

Nike Shox R4, Very comfortable.

I've worn NB for the past few years, but they stopped making what I used to wear. So I am trying a pair of their new 888's. I hated them the first night out. I get the 4E witdth, and that usually fits quite nicely. But these are a little roomier than I'm used to. And they don't seem to have quite the cushioning that previous models have had.

So...

Bought a pair of Spenco inserts, put them under the liner that came with the shoes (which solved a problem with a slight gap between the insert and the side of the shoe), and now I love 'em. Haven't even had to polish them yet because they're shinier than previous models.

Yes, covering your feet in plastic (which is waht Patent Leather is) will do that.

Over the past 6 years of working high school games, I've gone through some different shoes:

Officials Choice Patent Leather
Converse Whistle
New Balance (forget model number)
Reebok High Top Basketball Shoe
Couple of others not worth mentioning

This season, I am using an older pair of Nike basketball shoes I had that is still in pretty good shape despite playing basketball in them for the past few years (primarily indoor).

In addition, I broke in a pair of Nike Shox running shoes ($110 retail at Foot Locker) last week. They were surprisingly comfortable and I like them. They are pricey and you can't get discounts on the shoe. However, I make use of my credit card rewards to either get money back or get gift cards to foot locker and that helps offset the high price of the shoe.

I am wearing adidas a3 microride leather. I love them, but found out they aren't making them anymore.

Gotta find what works for you and go with it...just becasue others like it doesn't mean it will feel good for your feet.

I went with the Pentagon Sports Court Shoes from Honigs. I like em, and I think they are pretty sweet lookin.

Go to Nike.com and design your own, you can even get them monogrammed. That is what I did, when someone swiped my brand new kicks last year from the locker room

I wear New Balance mainly because I have a wide foot and it is the only shoe I can get in my actual size (11). I order them in 4E width. Also, the NB store by me gave $10 off for officials.
